over 2 years ago

Hello, good afternoon and welcome to my page @birjudanak once again, it was a superb game of the first qualifier where GT won by 7 wickets as the game went till the last over. Now it's time to discuss today's match of Eliminator where LSG will play against RCB and the winner of that match will play against RR in the second Qualifier. The loser of this game will be put from the tournament. We got to see a very nice match yesterday and we hope today to so let's start discussing today's match.

LSG Team Preview

LSG is looking very good with batting throughout the tournament as only once or maybe twice they not did do good batting otherwise they did so well. The reason behind LSG's success is their top-order especially KL Rahul and De Kock as one of them mostly performed long inning and thus they were able to score. We can't forget the contribution of Deepak Hooda as he is also a consistent performer at no 3. he can play big shots and keep the momentum going with positive thinking. He likes to play attacking shots so it's a good thing for them.

Middle-order is one issue for them where lots of big-name like Lewis, Stoinis, and Holder are there but not able to perform. Badoni looks good at the beginning but lasts some matches not played well. Krunal Pandya played some good innings but he can't expect more from him. If they send Holder up to the order then it will be great for them as he is a good batsman but does not get many chances in the middle order. LSG totally depends on their top order who are performing well so if want to stop them then need to out them early.

LSG has a good bowling line with pacers and spinners both. Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan are just superb with bowling as they are able to take wickets in every match. They have Chamera who is in the dugout and also did good bowling too. Holder though not a stable performer but we know his ability of bowling especially in death. Ravi Bishnoi is good with his Google as Krunal Pandya with his variation. They have lots of good bowling options because of All-rounder in their squad. Bowling will be key in this eliminator game because the pitch is good for bats so bowling will play a crucial role.

RCB Team Preview

RCB has lots of batting issues before the last match but since the last match, it looks like their all batsman is in the form including Kohli and Maxwell who have not been in great form for many days. Though they are back in the form they did not play well before so need to keep from going like the last match if they want to go ahead in the tournament. RCB batting is up and down through the whole tournament as only Karthik looks consistent performer with bat and this RCB team also depends on their top order where Faf, Kohli, and Maxwell play. Their team has a lot of hope for this player as they are not far from the trophy.

In the middle order, there are uncap players like Patidar, Lomror, and Shanaz but they did perform so well compare to senior players in top orders so it's a plus point for them. Patidar was also part of RCB last season but was not picked this time. It's good he replaced an injured player and was once again able to perform and showed his talent. Karthik is a key and most valuable player for them as performed as a finisher where he changed many games towards RCB which was not in their hand. For his brilliant ability in the finishing role, he was also picked for the India T20 squad which is great.

Bowling Looks weak in the last couple of matches as their fast bowler is not able to take many wickets as well as expansive too. Siraj is wicketless in many matches, Hazelwood is a good bowler but not taking many wickets and giving runs too. Hasaranga is only a consistent wicket-taker for them and bowling well and thus he is 2nd in highest wicket-taker in this season. Maxwell's contribution to the bowl is more too this year. Harshal Patel looks fit for this match and let's hope he can bowl a full spell in this match. Overall RCB is not bad with his bowling but also not good too.

Match Prediction & My Dream11 Team

We have seen yesterday's match where it's good for a bat as well as good for spinners too and I will go with RCB though Lucknow is the favorite to win. RCB has more match-winners so I would like to go with RCB. Due will also play a role so bat second has little advantage but if score big then it will good to keep pressure on another team. I will keep KL Rahul as captain and Maxwell as VC for my team as both will play a key role in the team. I may change my team at the final playing 11 declare if anyone does not play. It looks like a run feast match too so can't wait for more to see. That's it from me for today and stay tuned for my next post.
